For 47 years, Colombia has been having a long internal conflict, involving rebel forces, drug cartels, and paramilitaries. 57,000 people have been registered as missing, and more and more are increasing day by day. So far, only 10,000 bodies have been identified. In Bogota's national institute of forensic medicine, staff are working round the clock trying to identify bodies. They say that some families will never know what has happened to them, and when they do, it wouldn't be happy news. Now, researchers are trying to identify faster the bodies the families are waiting to hear from.
On September 18, 2011 Colombian rebels attacked a school, killing one little girl and injuring 6 others. The school was hit by a rebel grenade. The grenade was supposed to hit a military patrol, but missed and hit a school instead. A girl was injured is in a serious condition. After that day, there was another shooting, this time it injured six police officers and two soldiers. What can be done about it:
I would think about putting cameras on everybody where the police can see what they're doing or what is being done to them. Even though rebels probably won't want to have cameras attached to them, the people who are innocent probably will. The police can see if they are being attacked and can see the attacker's face. I think they should also have a gigantic conference with almost everybody in it. They can speak about what they think is wrong in Columbia, and maybe tell why they kidnap, kill, or sell drugs. They can discuss their thoughts. Then, everybody can decide what should be done to the country.
About people disappearing in Columbia.......
